Mick Jagger pointed out that "Shine a Light is the only Martin Scorsese movie I know that doesn't have 'Gimme Shelter' in it!" In other rock movie news, Scorsese said that he is currently "looking at footage" for his upcoming George Harrison movie, and that it's going to be a "straight documentary."

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
